Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 76 72. See Shirley Again
The formation of the risk investigation team went extremely smoothly. Everyone was united in purpose and the work was the same no matter where they worked.

There was no shortage of people and horses, so they simply found a large conference room on a tall floor in the base as a temporary office location.

Lin Longma’s ambition for the headquarters goes far beyond this, and there is no point in setting up an independent office area now.

It would be troublesome if the risk investigation team needs to be expanded in the future.

As for funding, Hayashi Ryoma has never worried about funding since he joined the organization, and we have to thank our hardworking Gin for that.

Although Lin Longma said at the dinner that the first investigation target would be Rum, in fact, the Level 2 authority of the "Risk Investigation Team" did not support them to investigate Rum.

Not to mention Rum, even his two direct subordinates, Curacao and Binga Yixinhui, are not qualified to investigate them.

Therefore, the target of the risk investigation team is not Rum himself, but those politicians who were instigated and absorbed by him.

The reason for setting this goal is very simple. Rum wanted to use diplomats to trick Lin Longma and Isshinkai, but Lin Longma countered with other means, causing Rum's plan to fail and all the early investments to go down the drain.

It was precisely because of Rum's failure that the boss brought Lin Longma into the headquarters. Whether Rum was careless or Lin Longma was deliberate, the organization has always been a place that only cares about the outcome.

So the fact that Lin Longma beat Rum means he is capable.

As long as it is beneficial to the organization, the boss doesn't mind bringing Lin Longma out to compete with Rum.

Otherwise, the risk investigation team would not be directly under the headquarters and would only be responsible to the boss himself.

But the boss still trusted Rum, so he only gave Lin Longma the right to investigate, as a small warning to Rum so that he would not continue to slack off.

To Lin Longma, the death of the diplomat was just his response to Rum's calculations. But there is no such thing as taking a beating without fighting back.

The start of this war was decided by you, Rum, but when it ends is not up to you.

Since Rum likes to play in politics so much, Lin Longma simply decided to find out about Rum's political power.

It is obvious that the politicians in the political arena are not very clean. Even if they are clean, it is not their turn to be corrupted, right?
Since Rum decided to use political power to harm Isshinkai, Lin Longma decided to first reduce some of Rum's power in the political arena.

What? You said that the "Risk Investigation Group" only has the power to investigate, but not the power to take action? Yes, but what does this politician's own revelation have to do with the "Risk Investigation Group"?

Just tell me whether I reminded him or not and whether he is in danger.

Thanks to the Level 2 clearance granted to the Risk Investigation Team, the organization's internal database was opened to the Isshin Society.

Although currently only content with level 2 authority can be viewed, it is much better than the Yi Xin Hui in the past when they were completely in the dark and had to rely on inquiries for everything.

Organization Level 2 Authority: Can investigate junior researchers in the Research Department and full members of other departments (such as members working inside the base and direct subordinates of senior cadres).

What do you think of when you see the description of Level 2 authority? That's right, Lin Longma's risk investigation team can investigate the department-level researchers in the scientific research department.

This means that all the organization’s scientific research bases are now open to Lin Longma.

While the other members of the Isshin-kai were conducting their own investigations, Hayashi Ryoma, who had handed over the Isshin-kai base operations to Akita, suddenly felt a little bored.

After so many years of being busy, Lin Longma was not used to being idle all of a sudden. After thinking for a while, Lin Longma picked up the phone on the desk and called Jintian, asking him to inform Shiraishi to prepare a car for them to go out.

Hayashi Ryoma's office has not been changed, but the nameplate outside has been changed to "President's Office". Another office on the same floor that is about the same size as Hayashi Ryoma's office was assigned to Akita as his president's office.

Lin Longma now has only one thought about this - Professor Moritani debuted too late!

If he had debuted earlier, wouldn't this burden have been passed on to Akita long ago?

Isn’t it the job of a qualified entrepreneur to allow employees to give full play to their subjective initiative, leaving the hard work to others and keeping the happiness for themselves?

Lin Longma's Maybach was quickly ready. After arriving at the parking lot and getting in the car, Jin Tian closed the door for Lin Longma, then came to the passenger seat and asked Lin Longma:
"Brother, where are we going?"

"Scientific research base, go meet Shirley." Lin Longma was ready to make a small bug.

The boss's authorization allows Lin Longma to go to any scientific research base and ask the person in charge to cooperate with his investigation. So it is reasonable for Lin Longma to go to Shirley's base to meet Shirley.

The black Maybach passed the access control of the scientific research base smoothly. Gin was busy on a mission and was not here. Rum was elusive all day long and rarely appeared in bases outside of his influence.

Shirley was informed of Lin Longma's arrival immediately, and Shirley stopped the experiment in her hand and looked a little surprised.

Looking back at the two times that Lin Longma came to the scientific research base, he basically came only when Gin asked him to.

In other words, one must have a legitimate reason to go to the scientific research base. Now that Gin is not here, Lin Ryoma came as he pleased and was not even stopped by the guards at the door.

This proves that something happened to Lin Longma during this period of time that Shirley didn't know about.

Did Lin Longma get his own code name?

Shirley shook her head and quickly put aside the confusion in her mind. To be honest, she wanted to thank Lin Longma.

The last time she told Lin Longma about her sister, a few days later Shirley found that her sister seemed to have returned to normal, except that she sometimes showed some fear.

Because their communication was constantly monitored by the organization, there were some things that could not be said on the phone. But Shirley at least knew that her sister would not do anything stupid again, and that was enough.

Furthermore, Shirley was somewhat concerned about what Lin Longma said before he left last time. She wondered if Lin Longma’s visit this time was related to what he said before he left last time.

After entering the scientific research base, Lin Longma came to Shirley's office with ease. After knocking on the door symbolically, Lin Longma pushed the door open and walked in.

"Don't you even listen to the answer from inside after you knock on the door?" Shirley didn't expect that the first thing she would say when she met him would be to complain.

But there was nothing she could do about it, she was naturally treacherous and venomous. In the past, she had always used coldness to cover herself up in the organization.

But in front of familiar people, the true nature will inevitably be exposed.

"Anyway, someone must have informed you when I entered the base, so knocking on the door is to tell you that I am here, not to ask you if I can come in."

When it comes to reason, Lin Longma always has a lot to say: "So, how have you been lately?"
